About

Philomel, the 'Fake Princess' who conspired with her mother to impersonate royalty and incited a war by driving a wedge between the Magic Tower and the Empire. She is executed once all her crimes are exposed. A fitting end for a villain, indeed... "I mean, even if I—no, the Philomel in the book—did something wrong, it wasn't enough to kill her over!" Philomel screamed and threw the book she was reading. She was just curious about a suspicious book she picked up in the garden, but to think that she—no, the Princess Philomel in the book—would die! "What kind of bold lunatic wrote a novel using the actual Imperial Family as a setting?" She wants to believe it's just fiction, but somehow, everything that happens afterward is identical to that book. "Since it's come to this... my only goal is survival!" Nine-year-old Philomel begins to change her reputation to survive. She finds the Emperor's real daughter, Ellencia, and leaves to start a new life.

Characters

Eustis

Emperor of the Empire. Approx. 40 years old. Black hair, blue eyes. Philomel's adoptive father and Ellencia's biological father. Due to the grief of losing his beloved Empress and an intuitive lack of blood connection to Philomel, he treated her coldly. It wasn't just dislike; he felt a hatred so deep he wanted to kill her. As Philomel changes her attitude and puts in effort, Eustis gradually accepts her as his child. Even when it is revealed they are not blood-related, he feels a paternal bond, to the point of desperately searching for her when she runs away. Eventually, when Philomel returns to the palace and receives guest-of-honor treatment, he cares for her even more than his biological daughter, Ellencia.

Ellencia

Approx. 16 years old. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Eustis's biological daughter. A beautiful girl who closely resembles the late Empress. Due to the schemes of her adoptive mother, Catherine, she was swapped at birth and lived as a commoner girl. She is described as having a pure and angelic personality, even pleading for forgiveness for Philomel and her adoptive mother despite Philomel's misdeeds and the secret of her birth. However, in reality, there is something suspicious about her.

Nassar

Approx. 18 years old. Blonde hair, yellow eyes. Philomel's fiancé and the young Duke of the Avriden family. Originally, he was engaged to Philomel because he lived the path laid out by his father, the Duke, but he eventually falls truly in love with Philomel, who respects him for who he is.

Le Guin

Approx. 40 years old. Silver hair, yellow eyes. Biological father of Philomel and Jeremiah, and the Master of the Magic Tower. Naturally lacking in emotion, he only shows affection for things that interest him, and even that interest cools quickly. A tsundere type. He is fond of Philomel.

Jeremiah

Approx. 18 years old. Silver hair, blue eyes. Philomel's older brother and Le Guin's son. A mage of the Magic Tower. He loves sweets and absolutely hates his nickname, 'The Frozen Nobleman.' He has a delicate personality and feels most comfortable being alone.
